Journal American Rhododendron Society

As indicated in the last Bulletin, the membership contest for 1967 is in two parts. One prize will be given to the Chapter having the greatest percentage increase during the year. Another prize will be given to the Chapter having the least percentage of dropouts during the year. Just how the prize plants will be divided is not clear at the moment, but there are enough plants so that both prizes will be very substantial.
The nurseries which have agreed to donate plants, and the varieties they have offered, are as follows:

Four plants are offered by Rainier Mountain Alpine Gardens, 2007 S. 126th, Seattle, Washington. This nursery is operated by Betty and Jim Caperci. The four plants would be of R. lutescens, R. spiciferum, R. glaucophyllum and 'Patricia.'

The Bovees of 1737 S.W. Coronado, Portland, Oregon, offer five plants of R. yakusimanum, five years old, grown from seed sent by Dr. Rokujo, collected from the summit of Mt. Huna-No-Ego, Yakushima Island, Japan. Each will be a different leaf form.
